As we
always say, it's so lovely when customers we have worked with take
the time to send over some pictures of the items we have created for
them so that we can see how they were incorporated into their special
event. We recently received some fabulous photos taken by The Owl and the Pussycat Wedding Photography from the lovely Janet and Richard, who we worked with a
couple of months ago to create some items for their 1940s themed
wedding held on 6th
July 2013.

Janet
and Richard had asked us to capture the nostalgic, wartime romance of
this era that they were styling their wedding around and so we set to
work on their favour boxes, menus and lots of signage to display on
the tables and around their venue. They also wanted to add a touch of
swing, with some fun swing dance imagery to create this party
atmosphere during the reception. So we had in mind a
fusion of 1940s wartime romance, vintage style Union Jack bunting and
swing dance silhouettes to create something special for this lovely
couple. And that we did!

We created our Pillow Talk Favour Boxes for each guest, which are handmade using our
treasured excerpts from a 1940s love letter, written by a girl called
Anna to her soldier sweetheart Jack who was away at war at the time.
The boxes were printed with a selection of hopeful and romantic words
and these were displayed at guest's place settings.

We also made some
custom freestanding menus using a kraft brown and ivory colour scheme for
that vintage feel, featuring a swing dance image, union jack bunting
and pearl heart embellishment. To compliment these, we created some
signage for Janet and Richard's 'Postbox' and also a Candy Buffet
sign which was displayed in a vintage style ornate frame.

Finally
we absolutely loved creating some pieces for their vintage suitcase
table plan which the couple put together themselves. They lined the
inside of an old suitcase with black and white images of the 1940s
featuring swing dance bands, movie stars and wartime sweethearts. We
made them the tags to hang inside which displayed their table names
and guests seating arrangements and embellished these with small
pearl hearts to give an elegant, vintage feel. I think they did an
amazing job putting it all together!

So we
wanted to say a special thank you to Janet and Richard for sharing
these images with us, it is so lovely for us to be able to see our
work in context and provide inspiration for future couples
planning their own weddings. A huge congratulations to you both on
your wedding and we wish you all the very best for your future
together!

I'm impressed, I need to say. Actually rarely do I encounter a blog that's both educative and entertaining, and let me inform you, you've got hit the nail on the head. Your concept is outstanding; the difficulty is something that not enough people are speaking intelligently about. I'm very pleased that I stumbled throughout this in my search for one thing referring to this....Cccam Server
